http://drupal.org/node/23743 has the handbook outline.
site recipes is the catch all spot right now.  the articles potential
is why it's still there.


We've probably had more spam the pages but unofficial count is about
50%.

The  Installation and configuration handbook  [1] has some questionable
pages at the top level (the main contents links). It would be better if
these were placed in a more appropriate area. They might fit better in a
'temporary' or 'working space' until they are refined enough to bring
some value into the handbooks.


Three pages stand out from the rest on this:  Drupal 4.7 configuration
all around very very short tipps [2], the not so informative  My
presentation\" [3] and finally  Dobro's Blog [4].


It may also be appropriate to do a one-to-one intervention with the
authors to outline more appropriate places for this stuff.

Thanks. Deleted Dobro's blog and My presentation. There were actually
about 10 pages there that didn't belong (some support requests, some
with just like 3 lines, a CVS shell script, some devel info about the
node table, a draft of a new post, etc....), so did some additional
deleting and re-shuffling.


I'm really hoping this newish "allow anyone to create a handbook page
anywhere" thing is actually providing Drupal with more good
contributions than bad. I've been deleting A LOT of spam/stupid book
pages lately, it seems... esp. in the installation and configuration
guide, since that's the first place a page will go if they don't change
the selection.


We'll maybe have a think about some kind of code-level solution to this
problem... maybe "locking" the addition of top-level book pages to
members of the doc team, or selectively turn on moderation queue for
specific books, or only allowing people to post book nodes after they've
posted a valid issue to the issue queue, or...


Btw, I don't really know what to do about "tipps"
http://drupal.org/node/70626 ... the user here has some good intentions,
but the language, spelling, grammar, etc. don't make it very appropriate
for the handbook, esp. at the top level. For now I moved it under the
"Site recipes" section, which seemed to be kind of a mish-mash of user
contributed suggestions, but that's not right either.
